| Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on Me. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint My body to the burying. (Mark 14:6,8) |
| Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, … came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. And there came also Nicodemus … and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. (John 19:38‑40) |
Lord of life! to death once subject;
Blesser, yet a curse once made;
Of Thy Father’s heart the object,
Yet in depths of anguish laid:
Thee we gaze on,
Thee recall —
Bearing here our sorrows all. |
